Tips

1. Image representing a gallery (category)

In Phoca Gallery you can display different images/icons which will represent the gallery (category):

Folder icon - can be set in parameters
Avatar - can be set in parameters
Image from the category - it can be random image but even an image with specific ordering (e.g. first image from the category will be set). If you want to display an image as category icon and you don't want to display such image in list of category, then you set the first image as unauthorized. Such image will be displayed as category icon but will be not displayed in list of images. (Don't forget to set right ordering of images which should be selected as folder icon, if you have unauthorized first image, then the ordering must be ordered by ordering, so the first unauthorized image will be selected)

See Options (Parameters) to set the image.

The parameter Display image instead of folder icon displays the folder icon as default, here the image from the category can be set. If the image will be set, then you can set the specific image from the category (subcategory) with help of ordering: Categories Image Ordering. So you can set, e.g. first image from the category will be displayed as category image.

2. How to disable "save image as" after right clicking

If you want to disable context menu "save image as" after right clicking, just customize the template of view where you want to apply this.

E.g. Detail View in Phoca Gallery. Edit:

components/com_phocagallery/views/detail/tmpl/default.php

and add the following code to the top of the code:

$document    = &JFactory::getDocument();
$document->addScript(JURI::base(true).'/components/com_phocagallery/assets/jquery/jquery-1.6.4.min.js');
<script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery.noConflict();
    jQuery(document).ready(function($){
        jQuery('img').bind('contextmenu', function(e){
        return false;
    });
});
</script>

JQuery version 1.6.4 is included in Phoca Gallery since version 3.1. Before this version include JQuery version 1.6.2.
